My Mama told me you were bad news, honey
She said you're gonna ruin my life
'Cause I love you too much
Yeah, I love you too much
I wanna leave ya, there's no denyin'
I must have tried a million times
But I love you too much
I just love you too much

I stand convicted
Behind the bars of love
For me there is no escape
Not even mercy from Heaven above

You've got me falling this way and that way
Anyway, you just ain't here
And I love you too much
Yеah, I love you too much
Well, you can take mе honey, steal my money
You can step on my blue suede shoes
'Cause I love you too much
Yeah, I love you too much

I've been neglected
But I feel no pain
'Cause my line's been connected
And I can ring it, again and again
[Guitar Solo]

So think of what you're doing
Leading me to ruin
Don't be cruel baby, can't you see
That I love you too much
You know I love you too much

And even if you hurt me
Abuse me and desert me
You know that I would go down in flames
'Cause I love you too much
Yeah, love you too much

I declare it a state of emergency, baby, dial 999
You've got to help me, I'm falling
I just don't know if I can make it this time

[Guitar Solo]

'Cause I love you too much
You know I love you too much

So baby, why'd you hate me and mutilate me?
I wish you'd get out of my life
'Cause I love you too much
You know I love you too much
I feel frustrated
Like a tiger in a cage
You gotta release me
Before I fly into a screaming rage

You know I really ought to put you down
Before you make a fool out of me
But I love you too much
Yeah, I love you too much
So think of what you're doing
Leading me to ruin
Don't be cruel baby, can't you see
That I love you too much
Yeah, love you too much
You've got me falling this way and that way
Anyway, you just ain't here
And I love you too much
Yeah, I love you too much
Well, you can take me, honey
And steal my money
You can step on my blue suede boots
'Cause I love you too much
Yeah, I love you too much
Well, even if you hurt me
Abuse me and desert me
You know that I would go down in flames
'Cause I love you too much
Yeah, love you too much
So baby, why'd you hate me and mutilate me?
